Newton Abbot Hospital
Client: Teignbridge Primary Care Trust
Contractor: Rydon
Architect: Murphy Philipps
Completed: 2009
A striking new community hospital for Newton Abbot. Our site plan sets the building away from the road, in an elevated position above the flood plain. The central courtyard reflects the proximity to water with a river of blue bonded glass flowing to the patient waiting areas. Outside the hospital rehabilitation areas contain attractive planted beds, creating fragrant areas to linger and heal. Extensive native planting behind the hospital brings nature into the heart of the site, and is a focus from the maternity ward.
